Cold Storage Racking Systems

Storing products in freezing temperatures comes with unique challenges. Find the right cold storage racking system for your facility with East Coast Storage Equipment.

As temperatures drop, certain types of steel become more brittle, making the right storage equipment critical for freezer and cold storage facilities. 

Some steels experience a ductile-to-brittle transition at temperatures around 32°F, which impacts how they perform in cold environments. Storing frozen products requires cold storage racks that can withstand these demanding conditions. 

East Coast Storage Equipment has the cold storage racking systems you need to maximize your space and keep your operation moving efficiently.

The Standard Material for Cold Storage Racking Systems

Not every type of steel works well in a cold storage environment. 

While roll-formed steel is a cost-effective choice for many applications, structural steel is the standard for demanding freezer and cooler environments. 

Structural steel is strong. It’s built from hot-rolled C-channel steel and bolted connections, giving it the strength to handle both heavy loads and the added stress of freezing conditions. With the appropriate finish and maintenance, it resists warping, corroding, and other issues that may affect storage equipment over time. 

East Coast Storage Equipment offers structural pallet racking designed for demanding warehouse environments. Our cold storage pallet racking makes the most of your available space and provides the strength and durability needed for freezer and cooler applications. 

Choosing the Right Type of Cold Storage Rack

The right pallet racking for cold storage depends on your products, available space, and how quickly inventory moves through your operation. Perishable products, high-demand inventory, and bulk goods each come with different storage requirements.

Pallet flow rack is a good choice for perishable products that require first-in, first-out (FIFO) rotation. Drive-In racking and pushback racking provide high-density storage for bulk quantities of similar products. For facilities storing a wide variety of SKUs, selective pallet rack creates direct access to individual pallets. 

The right system keeps inventory accessible, moves product efficiently, and allows you to get the most out of your cold storage space. For more guidance, read our guide on how to choose the right cold storage rack.

Why Cold Storage Solutions?

  • Maximize valuable cold storage space.
  • Improve product flow and inventory management.
  • Maintain FIFO rotation for perishable products.
  • Improve your team’s productivity.
  • Reduce employee exposure to cold environments.

Worker Safety and Exposure

Working in freezer and cold storage environments can be very demanding. Efficient storage configurations reduce the amount of time employees spend in cold areas. Plus, well-planned storage makes SKUs easier to locate, access, and move. 

High-density racking and efficient product flow will keep your team moving and reduce unnecessary trips into cold storage areas. That means less time in the cold and a more productive operation.
